Remember your creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come, and the years draw near when you will say, "I ha...ve no pleasure in them"; before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars are darkened and the clouds return with the rain; in the day when the guards of the house tremble, and the strong men are bent, and the women who grind cease working because they are few, and those who look through the windows see dimly; when the doors on the street are shut, and the sound of the grinding is low, and one rises up at the sound of a bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low; when one is afraid of heights, and terrors are in the road; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along and desire fails; because all must go to their eternal home, and the mourners will go about the streets; before the silver cord is snapped, and the golden bowl is broken, and the pitcher is broken at the fountain, and the wheel broken at the cistern, and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the breath returns to God who gave it.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

But mortals die, and are laid low; humans expire, and where are they?LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

The Lord killeth, and maketh alive; he bringeth down to the grave,and bringeth up....The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and liftethup.Heraiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggarfrom the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inheritthe throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's andhe hath set the world upon them.He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silentin darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heavenshall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth;and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of hisanointed.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
